Hailey Langland etched her name in the record books on Thursday night, becoming the first female to successfully pull off a 1080 in the X Games.
Oh, we should probably mention that she’s only 16 years old.
Langland accomplished the feat in the big-air event (snowboarding), and as you might imagine, she won the gold medal for pulling off the amazing feat.
